I can't stand noisy places. I have left restaurants that are too noisy. When we go to a party with a lot of people, I either leave, or find a quiet room somewhere. I leave loud concerts, even classical. Rock concerts are completely out. I've been like this for about 20 years. (I'm 62 now). But I'm not sure if it's realted to being a piano tuner, because ever since I can remember, my mom was like this, too.

My son started school this year and is being tested for some sensory issues. He’s always been extremely sensitive to sounds, busy environments, textures, etc. I think he got it from me. My husband says I’m ridiculously sensitive to noise, certain clothing, crowded places, etc. Loud parties/restaurants stress me out. The grasshopper-type creatures outside our house this time of year severely hurt my ears. I started thinking about our group of piano technicians and wondering if our sensitive ears are a blessing as well as a curse. Do any of you fall into the sensory overload category?
